The first thing a candle maker should know is the choice of wax to be used. most candle makers use low quality wax. The two major types of wax employed most in the industry is the Beeswax and Paraffin. The beeswax makes a very high quality candle, however it is very expensive. The wax is the combs of bees where the honey is housed.

The most commonly used wax is the paraffin wax; a residue after refining crude oil. It is the choice of candle makers on a large commercial scale.
Towards making a good quality candle, most candle makers add little incense to the candle to give it a nice smelling fragrant when burnt.

Remember that you will need a clean and clear room with ventilation. Dealing with melted wax can be quite dangerous and therefore utmost care must be taken while making candles. To begin with you will require a mold. The mold can be made of metal or glass or even waxed plastic. You can also opt for ready to use kits from the market. Once you have mastered the art of making candles you can go for technique kit, which will help you create stunning candles.
